We are a registered 501(c)3 non-profit rescue, based in central Connecticut, whose mission is to save dogs at risk - from municipal shelters, from pounds, from owner surrenders, from unwanted litters. We are 100% volunteer-staffed and we rely on fosters to keep our dogs safe while we find them suitable forever homes. We are also 100% reliant on donations and fundraising to cover veterinary care for our dogs.
